Anyone else seen this before?

I'm really tired of all these foreign countries getting all the good Android phones. Then there's the Kogan that I could buy and use in the US, but 2 inches of touch screen is equivalent to 4 inches of.... well... you know...

The screen looks to be a decent size but the lack of a physical keyboard turns my interest away.

The song made the phone seem like it can do some magical things.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING !!!

It would've caught my interest if there was somethin like video recording or an onscreen keyboard - something that would've indicated a nice change in the Android OS. Only for it to appear like... well... my current G1 only with Chinese characters. -_-)p

HTC Touch meets Android.

Eh, really, they're probably not as great as they look. Asian OEM's have been manufacturing cheap knock offs/cheap quality phones for years. The fact that they can semi-legitimize their phones by putting Android without any legal repercussions (as opposed to say, pirating WinMo to put on the phone) probably means we'll see an increase in these.

Also, HKC? And the design of the phone? This is clearly a knock off HTC Touch, another indicator that the quality of the phone is sure to suck.
